    *upgrade my pc to the following:-
    motherboard: Gigabyte K8NF-9 nVidia Socket 939 ATX
    cpu: amd athlon 64 3500+ (might go higher)
    video card: Powercolor Radeon X1800 XL / 256MB (might get the 7800 GTX)

    *buy the psp giga pack with a game or two on wednesday , and wait for the ps3 to come out and buy it as well

    PC. unless you plan on OCing a bit, you'd probably be better off getting a better processor and a 7800GT(unlock the pipelines)

    I will admit that crossfire is better than SLi, but the Nforce 4 chipset is a step ahead of crossfire in terms of performance(though not by much) especially because of Ntune which is nice. again, those two opertrons I linked to are good chips, very OCable and good enough to not need to be OC-ed

    EDIT: if you were to get the x1800, you would want a cross fire compatable mothboard too dude, FYI, the one you picked out had a Nvidia chipset.

    Upgrade your PC, think about the price of the PSP will go down very quickly and really how often do you think youll use it? Youll be on it 24/7 when you first get but then youll just stop using it eventually, but you use your PC all the time.

    Trust me, get the upgrade. I have a PSP... It's fun like once in a while I guess... But now that I contemplate on what I could have gotten with the money besides the PSP... Excuse me, I need to slit my wrists. *slits his wrists*

    I'd go with the pc, theres so much more you can do with it than a Ps3 and a PSP.
